With a Mormon candidate for the presidency and the unprecedented media attention given to Mormons recently, this conference takes a broad view of the history of Mormon participation in American political life, from Joseph Smith's 1844 run for the presidency to the Reed Smoot trials of the early 20th century and to the rise of Ezra Taft Benson during the Eisenhower administration, which ushered in a new era of Mormon identification with the Republican Party.
